Story highlights Family blames the lack of mental health facilities, easy access to guns as factors His mother struggled to get Josh Marks mental health treatment, lawyer says Marks' family hopes talking about his suicide will help others suffering from mental illness He was diagnosed with schizophrenia a day before his death.

His family blames the lack of mental health treatment facilities and the easy access to guns as factors in his tragic death. But, in his state of mind, he turned to the streets for a gun and easily got it. Marks, 26, died from a gunshot wound to his head. His death has been ruled a suicide, a spokesman for the Cook County, Illinois, medical examiner said Sunday.

He was charged with aggravated battery in July after scuffling with police officers who were called to the scene after he suffered serious facial wounds from a self-inflicted gunshot, according to his lawyer. His mother believed that incident was a call for help, not a suicide attempt, Butler said. But getting Marks help was not easy because of the lack of full-time mental health facilities in Illinois that would accept his insurance, she said.

Marks' mother, Paulette Mitchell, found him dead in an alley on Chicago's south side Friday evening after a neighbor called to say he was walking around with a gun, Butler said.

His family is now hoping to help others suffering from mental illness by talking about what happened to Marks in the three months since his arrest, she said. Marks -- who, at 7 feet 2 inches tall, was known by friends as a "gentle giant" -- was diagnosed with bipolar disorder a year ago, the same month he lost to to winner Christine Ha in the final round of the Fox reality cooking competition's third season.

A doctor diagnosed Marks with schizophrenia just last week, Butler said. He loved people. He would never hurt anyone; never.

He was just a gentle, sweet soul; but he hurt himself. That breaks my heart, that he hurt himself. That battle apparently began just as Marks was achieving celebrity status on television. Marks' stepfather Gabriel Mitchell, in a statement to CNN, described "the toll that being on a reality show puts on people. That's not necessarily the case. Marks spoke about his mental illness in a public service video he recorded in February for the Make a Sound Project , a nonprofit suicide awareness project.

The project promotes "how to use music as an alternative to the crazy thoughts you may have going in your mind," Marks said in the video. And how I cool out is, I listen to music and just listen to the words and just relax and, you know, find my melody. I wish we had some music going on in here right now. But last summer Marks suffered "a mental break" that led to his arrest on July 29, his lawyer said. He was treated at a hospital for the facial and ear wounds caused by a bullet that he fired and then transferred to the Cook County Jail, where he was placed in the general population, his lawyer said.

He got no mental health treatment and no medications while in jail, Butler said.
